About me:

I work as an independent journalist and mainly cover the full gamut of print technologies from commercial printing, including wide format and packaging, through to industrial printing, plus the associated inks and substrates, as well as 3D printing – all of which is reflected on this site. There’s no advertising or commercial interest to this site – it’s purely for my own interest.

Photography

I've been a photographer since my teens. These days most of my photography goes hand in hand with the stories that I'm working on but I also accept some purely photographic commissions - you can find more details at nessancleary.net

Freelance journalist

I'm a qualified journalist, an experienced editor and sub-editor, having edited several publications. I'm also a competent photographer so can easily supply a complete package of text and pictures.
